Library Preparation and QC

We favour Illumina's library preparation kits, but also work with kits from other vendors and varied custom protocols. Our most common library types are listed in the pricing section below. Don't see your required library type listed? Please contact us for details.

Note that although we currently cannot isolate input material, we can advise you on the best isolation procedures for your sample.

Sequencing

We accept Illumina-compatible user-prepared libraries. For such libraries, certain QC metrics are required before sample submission. Please contact us for details. Library validation and quantification services (Qubit, BioAnalyzer, qPCR) are also available for user-prepared libraries. Prices valid from 1 April 2023.
